Extracorporeal lithotripters are urological medical devices that use shock waves to break a kidney stone into tiny pieces that can more easily travel through the urinary tract and pass from the body. The procedure of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is a non-invasive treatment of kidney stones and stones in the gallbladder or the liver, using an acoustic pulse. X-ray imaging or ultrasound imaging are used within the treatment with extracorporeal lithotripters in order to locate a stone better. The most easiest way to locate stones in the kidney and in ureters is when the diameter of stones is between 4mm and 20mm.
The working principle of extracorporeal lithotripters can be defined in few steps. First, the urologist opens toward the patient and pulls the probe, which generates the acoustic pulse to the furthest point from the stone using shock wave. The procedure starts with low power level with long gaps between pulses and then the power gradually increases in order to break up the stone into small pieces that can pass through the ureters without any additional effort.
Extracorporeal lithotripters use a real time visualization that aids to reduce the risk of injuries to surrounding tissues. The sense of pain is minimized with the help of large applicator area, which reduces shock wave energy concentration outside the focused zone. These devices can be trolley-mounted to move them in needed position. The information is easily gotten and processed, that’s why the results are precisely accurate.
